Episode 14
Saturday, 14 February, 2026
How do you go from chariots to horseback riding? Archaeologists Barbara and Tristan explore what archaeology says about early horse riding, the development of bridles and other riding gear, and how horses reshaped power in the ancient world.And then there’s the weird, awkward transition stage: ancient Assyrian art shows two horses tethered together with a rider on each, one steering and one fighting. A truly wild way to learn to ride.____Stingray Tom's Florida episode on ancient mounds and middens:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD-Y-N5kNN4____Support the show!https://www.fpan.us/give/#archaeologybooksforfun #horsehistory #horseriding
